Okay...all of these wonderful recipes have me so ready to do some holiday baking (and I am NOT a cook/baker)! Here is a super simple recipe for a very rich treat.

Gooey Butter Cakes

Crust

1 package yellow cake mix

1 egg

1 stick melted butter/margarine

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine above ingredients and mix well. Pat into a lightly greased 9x13 pan.

 

Filling

1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 stick melted butter/margarine

16 ounces powdered sugar

 

Combine above ingredients and beat until smooth. Spread evenly over crust mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. (The center should be gooey - don't overbake)

I lovveeeee Caramel. Can you elaborate a little on the "Keep at rolling boil and cook till soft ball forms in cold water" part. I'm guessing I scoop a bit out and drop it into water to test? Thanks!!

While the ingredients are boiling you just get like a cup of cold water. Then like you said just scoop a litte out. It doesn't take much just like a drop. Put it in the cup. If you can form a soft ball then it is done.

Ricotta cake

 

1 yellow cake box mix ( and any additional ingredients used to make the cake mix)

2tsp vanilla ( or vanilla pudding jello mix) The pudding mix will make it WAY more moist, while the vanilla extract will just give it more of a vanilla flavor but keep a firmer consistancy)

4 eggs

2lbs ricotta cheese

3/4 cup sugar

Confectionary sugar

 

Make the yellow cake mix as directed on the box.

Grease pan and put cake mix in pan

Mix together your ricotta, sugar, vanilla, and eggs

Spread this mixture on top of the cake mixture

Place in oven at 350 degrees for one hour

( Cake mixture should now be on top with ricotta mixture on the bottom)

Let cool and then cut into squares. Then top with confectionary sugar.

We don't make this as much anymore, with how expensive even generic Velveeta is nowadays, but this one is a favorite for snacking during afternoon gatherings, while sipping on hot chocolate (or hot flavored tea)... :)

 

Cheesy Sausage Dip

 

1 large box Velveeta (generic works fine)

1 can tomatoes with green chiles (like Rotel)

1 can cream of chicken (or mushroom) soup

1-2 lbs bulk sausage, cooked and crumbled

 

Put all ingredients in crockpot on High, stirring occasionally, until melted. Turn down to Low and let cook for 1-2 hours (or more), to let flavors blend. Turn to lowest setting and serve directly from crockpot. Refrigerate any leftovers; reheats best in individual servings in the microwave.

Spritz Cookies - to be used in a cookie press (or what we call the cookie gun)

3 sticks of butter, softened

1 egg

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

3 1/2 cups flour

coloring and sprinkles, if desired

 

Preheat oven to 375. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar, egg, and vanilla; mix well. (If coloring the dough, add it with the liquids). Add the flour one cup at a time until soft dough forms. Put dough into cookie press, press cookies onto cool cookie sheets, bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden on the bottom. Let cool 2 minutes on sheets, then transfer to cookie racks. If using cocoa powder for chcolate cookies, substitute 1/2 c cocoa for flour. If using sprinkles, add to cookies before baking.

 

 

Just made this two days ago with the Pumpkin press and orange coloring for pumpkin cookies! The trickiest part is the butter - too cold and it won't come out, too soft and they'll lose their form...

Drizzle:

2 tablespoons Smucker's Hot Fudge

2 tablespoons Jif Peanut Butter

1. In a medium bowl, beat together the Jif Peanut Butter, cream cheese and sugar. Gently fold in 3 cups whipped topping. Spoon mixture into pie shell. Using a spatula, smooth mixture to edges of pie.
